Foam Slitting & Converting

Foam slitting is the most important foam cutting technology, which is mainly used to make foam sheets, slices and tapes. Foam slitting machine can also be used for the production of other materials, such as aluminum foil, adhesives, film, etc.. With foam slitter, the foam material can be easily converted into small pieces and tapes with widths and lengths required by customers.


At CN Mould & Plastic Limited, we convert the foam from raw material to sheets of specified size. Horizontal round cutters precisely split soft polyurethane (PU) and elastomer foams. The main method we use for foam slitting is lathe slitting. The conversion and scuttling process is a computer-controlled, which increases speed and production time. The blade is self-sharpening and ready for use. The height is set and controlled by computer in order to ensure accurate thickness of sheet. The blade angle is adjustable, which can achieve the best setting for each material.


The thichness of the foam sheet we can make varies from 0.4mm to 450mm.

Procedure of Foam Slitting

1. Adjust the cutting size and blade angle. Adjust the cutting depth according to the different shape and size of foam sheet. The cutting depth should be gradually adjusted until the desired depth is reached.


2. Turn on the machine. Press the start button to start the foam rail cutter.


3. Control the cutting speed. In the working process of the foam rail flat cutting machine, the cutting speed should be adjusted according to the different cutting materials and the wear degree of the cutting blade.


4. Control the cutting direction. According to the need, control the cutting direction of the foam rail flat cutter. If greater accuracy is required, the speed and direction of motion of the blade can be manually controlled.


5. Finish cutting. When the rail cutting is completed, shut down the machine and clean the cutting blades and accessories for next use.
